Tom,

I forgot to answer you about the contracts and things like that. Try to read
something about Deterding, one of the major founders of the Royal Dutch
Shell and contracts. (Royal Dutch Shell is a Dutch oil trading company).

That is your opinion, and my opinion from 35 years ago. I have learned in
that time, programs are made by humans for humans. Not for computers,
computers have only to process them. However they are made as well, that
they can understand many languages. So let them do for what they are.

Computers understand nothing. If they are so smart then why are there
bugs?

One in English, is nothing else than Un in France, Een in Dutch, Ein in
German,Uno in Italian and Jeden in Polish. I have not any problem to
translate those words direct in my human mind. For a computer it is much
easier. Your sentence shows in my opinion a small perspective with
languages.

A language isn't made up of the word "one". Take some time off from
studying copyright law and study human languages. You will realize there
are conceptual differences in the meaning of many words that on the
surface "seem" the same. But don't take my word for it, write up a sample
contract and ask an attorney to read it through. Learn for yourself how
what you personally think something means is not what the law says it
means.

What is an oorxax? What does mata ego mean? If you such a language whiz
you can translate this in no time.

Cor this isn't something I made up yesterday; law, medicine, science,
engineering and what have you operates like this. You can't decide what
"area of a circle" means, it's been done already.

I assume that Herfried can confess what I am saying that it is for him
the same.

He can "confess" all he wants. Maybe you can admit you're demonstrating
how language can be misinterpreted (from thefreedictionary.com)
